The payment is an investment into the entire community. To thus cheap out on payment is to cheap out on neighbors and their children. The problem is an outlook on the morale of a city whose energy problems force them to budget and find the future not in the next storm but the next gas pump. the problems of today are as important as the problems of the future and to take action as fast as possible to avoid more problems of today tomorrow is the example of responsible government.
